Flashback: The Disabled Duo beginnings
Of all the stupid...a boarding school for the weird kids is where he'd been sent. He had no illusions about it, none. Caused his parents enough trouble being deaf and lashing out about it. But when they found out about his little snapping power? They took the first opportunity they could to send him away with all the other little society misfits. At least now he wouldn't ever stand out as a mutant freak. Nope, now he was in his usual disabled kid schtick. Not much better really, you either got made fun of or pitied. Unless of course you lashed out a little, then they just stayed away, which was preferable.

Grumbling for the fiftieth time that day, Simon pulls his suitcase and bags along to the door of the place and knocks. He just wanted this all over with already.

	He scoots over a bit so she has room to sit. "Do people use their powers on each other?" He has to ask really, not that he intends to make enemies but he doesn't like to be picked on, and if a snap by the ear will stop that then so be it. "Really? So outside rules they let slide? I knew you couldn't all be such goody-two-shoes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Not really, no. It's kind of an unspoken thing. At least, negatively. I mean, no one would give me jazz for what I did to you."

Snorting, she rolled her eyes, something that was always missed. "Depends on the outside rules. We have curfews and all that, but with certain situations, they can be a lot more lenient than some of the human boarding schools. And we have free reign of the kitchen, which is a plus for me, at least, since I like cooking."

	"Good to know." "Well it's a pretty isolated place, curfew shouldn't be too bad I hope. But...what do you cook? I can make you some mean drinks in return. That and grilling stuff is all I can do really." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What do you like? Whatever I don't know, I don't mind pulling up a recipe for and trying. And grilling is highly underrated. I love a good grilled steak or chicken." She sighs, hand patting her belly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well I'm good with most things but I haven't had a really good sauce in a while. What say you to a trade? I'll make something for you in return?" Maybe it wouldn't be so bad around here. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A good sauce, huh...? I could do you up some eggs benny-style. A little toad in the hole or something." See? Xavier's wasn't so bad, sulky-Simon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Anything will do. If you want I'll make the steak and we can drown it in sauce." He lays back on the grass and sends another puff her way, "Deal?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ah, you want a killer marinade? I can finagle that. I got the powah!" She waves off the smoke and prods him. "Cut that out. Just because you like walking around smelling like an ashtray doesn't mean I want to. Heightened sense of smell, no-ears." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Won't the other be jealous of our combined skill?" He snickers a little at the prod, "Well of all the habits I could've picked up, this isn't the worst one. Besides, it's this or blow up at people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Haters gonna hate, son." She chuckled, leaning back on the grass. "I suppose you're right. Considering you could do it literally." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I see us wrecking havoc just by cooking," he chuckles and offers a high five. "As far as powers go mine could be much worse, guess it makes up for unlucky draw on the ear thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She laughs, high-fiving him back. "We need a catchy nickname for our combined awesomeness. 'The Disabled Duo', won't hear them coming and they'll blind you with awesomeness.. Da da da da da da!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	exploding_snaps 2012-02-27 07:55 am UTC (link)
	He laughs at that, "Yeah, blindingly brilliant duo that'll catch you unaware! Maybe we should get a theme song...And if we really wanted to mess with them? I'd take out my hearing aids and you close your eyes. Can't blame us if we didn't see or hear anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-27 07:57 am UTC (link)
	She chuckles along, getting amused by this. "It'd have to be a badass theme song, for we are badass. I also have a cane, for when there's too much frequency interference to see or I'm otherwise disabled." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Very badass, it should instantly give the message 'Beware the Awesome'. I know a bit of sign language and lip reading for when my hearing aids break or run out of battery. Not as much sign language as I should know though." He looks thoughtful, "Well, if there's interference I'll be your eyes you be my ears? Combined we're semi-normal. But more dangerous." He smirks at the last bit.

	"Yeah, I don't know too many combined people that could make you crap your pants two ways," She giggles at the thought of the pair of them with that as a mission. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know I've made people need a change of pants but how do you do it?" He looks quite amused at this Disabled Duo plan. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Frequency modulation. Ever heard of a 'brown note'?" She smirked as she turned to look at him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He shoots her a very wary look, "It's a sound wave? That makes people crap themselves?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-29 07:15 am UTC (link)
	"We call it an 'audiochemical reaction'. I guess it's kind of like acupressure, but with sound. Finding the right frequency that just hits certain spots and..." She gestured with her hand. "Blammo." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	exploding_snaps 2012-02-29 07:18 am UTC (link)
	"Right, well I'll be careful around you." He makes a mental note that if that ever happened he'd need to snap a few explosions between them, the waves from those should disrupt her frequencies. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-29 07:20 am UTC (link)
	She laughed. "Don't worry, I've got other color tricks up my sleeve." Smirking, she rolled onto her back and enjoyed the rays. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well at least his mutation gave him a fighting chance against those, others wouldn't be so lucky. "You're just a regular rainbow of sound now aren't you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
